so that fighting them there is good for Iraq and the US

That may be the case but it's a separate notion. It's not part of the notion of fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here. The latter is morally questionable. Perhaps being morally questionable is a better choice than fighting them here. Perhaps one can rationalize fighting them there rather than here by adding that it's good for them, too, but that doesn't morally elevate the "so that we don't have to fight them there" argument.
